I knew I wanted to buy the Mazda3 iTouring w/ Manual transmission and my goal was to do my research, find a good price, and drive home a new car within 3 days. That is exactly what I did and after corre transmission and my goal was to do my research, find a good price, and drive home a new car within 3 days. That is exactly what I did and after corresponding with several dealerships via email, Joe Bonavita made me want to choose Wantagh Mazda. Other dealerships were unfriendly (or at best very curt, as if they were doing me a favor). After finding the best price quote I could, Joe Bonavita matched the price and made Wantagh Mazda an easy choice for me. I was able to get a written invoice, get approved for 0% financing, secure insurance/registration, and schedule a pick up time--all within the span of two work days. The night I went to pick up my new car, it literally took about 15 minutes to sign the papers and leave the dealership. Not once did Joe try to up-sell me on any extras or add-ons. Basically, I am still amazed that I could decide on a car Sunday night and drive it home Wednesday evening with minimal effort and still get a nice price and 0% financing. Internet sales is definitely the way to go for low hassle and Joe is great at reading the wishes of the customer. I will recommend you guys to anyone I know. Thanks, Danny More

I saw at least 5 different dealerships and test drove 4 different cars. I did my homework and researched the cars...mpg, repair costs, costs, accessories. I went to Wantagh Mazda first and they set a very different cars. I did my homework and researched the cars...mpg, repair costs, costs, accessories. I went to Wantagh Mazda first and they set a very high bar that no other dealership or sales people could match. I was treated with respect and given credit for my knowledge. With other dealerships, it was like a feeding frenzy when I walked in. Despite my telling other salesman that I was NOT buying today and that I didn't spend $20,000 on an impulse, they continued with the hard sell. It was disgusting. Joe B. treated me as an individual. He understood what I was looking for and worked with me. It was the best decision I ever made going back to Mazda and Joe. I met with Dan for the financial stuff. He was personable, respectful and gave the me the information I needed. I have already recommended Joe and Wantagh Mazda to everyone I know. More

having had a mazda already; i knew i would look at another mazda as my first choice. joe was very polite; knowledgeable about the car we had inquired about. He and my husband had exchanged man another mazda as my first choice. joe was very polite; knowledgeable about the car we had inquired about. He and my husband had exchanged many e mails back and forth and joe always responded quickly. we felt he really wanted to do whatever he could to purchase the car. He explained the various rebates; options; financial options; and in a patient calm way. Upon our picking up the car; he carefully went over the inside of the car with me; instrument panel; etc. He was a pleasure to work with and would recommend him to others. As a matter of fact; my son who is now in Spain in school will be coming home in July and is thinking of purchasing a mazda 3. we will definitely have him to to Joe.! More

This place is great. I bought a new Mazda3 Gran Touring hatchback. Every part of the transaction with this dealer was pleasant, and well thought out. They really went out of their way to make sure I was in hatchback. Every part of the transaction with this dealer was pleasant, and well thought out. They really went out of their way to make sure I was informed about all of the options available for the car, and what the potential cost would be. Victor was especially good. Pleasant to work with, attentive, and very quick to respond to any questions I had. He really went out of his way to help out. As for the price, they did a great job on that too. I highly recommend this place, and will absolutely go back. And, I love the car! More

I have purchased new cars in the past and I have not had the best experiences. In my experiences, car sales people have been pushy, pressuring and often times arrogant. I was hoping for a better experience the best experiences. In my experiences, car sales people have been pushy, pressuring and often times arrogant. I was hoping for a better experience this time around. After doing a ton of internet research I decided it was time to take a look at a new Mazda3 Hatchback in person and maybe even ask a salesperson few questions. I was met by Joe B. For the first time in any car dealership a salesperson made me feel completely comfortable and pressure free. I eventually returned with my wife to test drive the car. She felt the same way about Joe B. When we finally decided it was time to purchase our new Mazda3, again, Joe B did not disappoint. He made a large purchase completely pressure and worry free. I would absolutley recommend Wantagh Mazda and I would especially recommend Joe Bonavita to anyone! More

I found working with this dealership to be an absolute pleasure. From the moment we walked in and were greeted by Joe the sales manager to when we finally picked up our car the entire staff at Wantagh Ma pleasure. From the moment we walked in and were greeted by Joe the sales manager to when we finally picked up our car the entire staff at Wantagh Mazda was a joy to work with. Joe B was our sales rep and he was such a straight shooter. His price was extremely competitive and made me feel good dealing with him and his dealership. He answered every question I had even if I asked it over and over. He was never impatient and was happy to sit with us and talk about any and all questions we had. We were able to test drive the car easily and when we picked up our car he allowed us to test drive it before accepting delivery. The most important thing I can say about Joe and the whole staff there was they made me feel good about getting my car. Sometimes you walk away feeling like hey I got a new car but ewwww and not so great. Not with this dealership we walked away happy and excited about our car and I put it all up to Joe and his crew for the great experience. DON'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE FOR A MAZDA. We went to two other dealerships and were lied to and given prices over 50 dollars a month more then what wantagh did for us. Shop here and with Joe. You will not be sorry More
